Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our
Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon
what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then
relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual
relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best
foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this
knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral
attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious
guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive,
moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages
have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human
sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.

"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

Hello. Thanks for visiting our evolutionary philosophy of human sexuality
pages. We are currently researching good quality sites relating to our biological
and cultural sexual evolution - as a way of collecting and presenting the
most important / latest knowledge and research.

The importance of truth (from evolution) is the foundation of this sex
study. We believe open honest research on sexuality is important for educating
people to the truth of our complex human sexual behaviour (which results
in better health, behaviour and relationships).
Below you will find a study of the incidence of STD's and pregnancy amongst
teens in the U.S., France, Germany and the Netherlands. The European countries
have much better sexual health outcomes compared to the U.S. Given that
America has become more conservative and religious - the obvious conclusion
is that lack of education (ignorance) and cultural / religious myth are
often (invariably!) detrimental to our health.

We hope you find the following articles & websites interesting and
useful.

Statistics of Adolescent Sexual Health in Europe & the U.S. - Why
the Difference?

From
the website: 'In the United States, the teen pregnancy rate is more than
nine times higher than that in the Netherlands, nearly four times higher
than the rate in France, and nearly five times higher than that in Germany.

In
the United States, the teen gonorrhea rate is over 74 times higher than
that in the Netherlands and France, over 66 times higher than the rate in
former West Germany, and over 38 times higher than that in former East Germany.

So, if Dutch, German, and French teens have better sexual health outcomes,
have fewer sexual partners, and initiate sexual activity at the same age
or even later than U.S. youth, what's the secret? Is there a 'silver bullet'
solution for the United States that will reduce the nearly four million
new sexually transmitted infections occurring among U.S. teens each year,
or the 20,000 new HIV infections among 13- to 24-year-old youth, or the
900,000 teen pregnancies?

Unfortunately, there is not a single, 'silver bullet' solution. Yet, the
United States can use the experience of the Dutch, Germans, and French to
guide its efforts to improve adolescents' sexual health. Indeed, the United
States can overcome obstacles and achieve social and cultural consensus
respecting sexuality as a normal and healthy part of being human and of
being a teen. If governmental policies created greater, easier access to
sexual health information and services, adolescents' sexual health outcomes
could improve markedly.'

World Health Organisation: Articles on Adolescent Sexuality and Reproductive
Issues

An informative collection of documents on Teenage Sexuality and Reproductive
Health. Topics include pregnancy prevention and care, nutrition, development,
statistics, data and resources.

From the website: 'Sexual development is a normal part of adolescence.
Fortunately, most adolescents go through these changes without significant
problems. Nonetheless, all adolescents need support and care during this
transition to adulthood, and some need special help.
The main issues in adolescent sexual and reproductive health are: Sexual
development and sexuality (including puberty), Sexually transmitted diseases/
HIV/AIDS, Unwanted and unsafe pregnancies.

The Common Agenda advocates the following specific measures to prevent
unsafe sex and early childbearing among adolescents:
*Create a safe and supportive environment through promoting delayed marriage
and childbearing, expanding access to education and training, and providing
income-earning opportunities.
* Provide information and skills (life and livelihood) so that adolescents
are better equipped to make good decisions.
* Expand access to health services that are affordable, accessible, confidential,
and non-judgmental.
* Provide counselling for adolescents.'

Analyse
any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of
sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which
life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established;
the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice,
his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a
complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts
and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
